HC Deb 02 March 1966 vol 725 cc315-6W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations what was the total cost of military advice, aid and equipment to Nigeria and Ghana during the last year; and whether he will cut off military aid from countries where there is a danger of a military coup being attempted.

Mr. Bottomley

The total cost to the United Kingdom of all forms of military aid to Ghana and Nigeria in the financial year 1965–66 is estimated to be £928,000 and £68,000, respectively. The second half of the Question is hypothetical and I regret that I am therefore unable to answer it.
